Profile:
A dashing strokeplayer and capable wicketkeeper, Chandrakant Pandit
was one among several young players in the mid 80s who were in the
running to take over the gloves from Syed Kirmani. Kiran More got the
nod ultimately because he was the better 'keeper but Pandit's superior
batting saw to it that he was not totally discarded. In fact in three
of the five Tests he played, he was taken as a middle order bat. He
was perhaps a shade fortunate to have played in Tied Test II when he
was included following an injury to Dilip Vengsarkar but he did come
up with two valuable contributions (35 and 39) in that tense match. He
also deputised for More who was indisposed. But in the two Tests he
kept wickets when More was unavailable on the 1991-92 tour of
Australia, he showed his skill by taking eleven catches.
His Test appearances might have been limited but his attractive
batting style saw to it that for some time he was a regular member of
the Indian one day side. He played in quite a few limited overs
tournaments and proved his value by a number of timely little knocks
towards the end of the innings that boosted the scoring rate. After
his international career ground to a halt, Pandit joined Madhya
Pradesh as a professional and enjoyed some good seasons with the bat.
